Failing to catch an error

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi.

I’ve made a small console script which fetches information from a webservice call.

The client code is this:


        try {

            $client = new SoapClient(Yii::app()->params['webServiceURL']);

            [...]

        } catch (Exception $e) {

            echo $e->getMessage ();

            Yii::app()->end(1);

        }

When I test it offline on my laptop, where the webServiceURL is not resolvable (host not found), I get the following console error


PHP Error[2]: SoapClient::SoapClient(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

but the exception is not caught!

Why? Shouldn’t “Exception” trap all of them?

thanks
